  1. Esteban OCONRenault13:30:180:05

    EngineerTwo, one, green light.

  2. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:31:010:09

    EngineerRadio is good. Loud and clear. Start feedback. Clutch on target.

  3. Carlos SAINZMcLaren13:31:430:07

    EngineerAnd Carlos Wind measured looking very light, slight tailwind into Turn 8.

  4. Esteban OCONRenault13:32:050:09

    Esteban OCONThe mirrors are very shaky, just to make sure they don't fall off.

  5. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:32:240:12

    EngineerPrompting adjustment, question?

    Max VERSTAPPENNo, leave it like this for the moment.

    EngineerUnderstood, so straight through the pillow.

  6. Daniel RICCIARDORenault13:33:170:09

    EngineerDo you need any adjustments?

    Daniel RICCIARDOYep, radio is good, no adjustments, all OK. Copy that.

  7. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:34:060:26

    Max VERSTAPPENI don't know why, but I have this yellow and red light on the left side of my dash, and it doesn't want to go off.

    EngineerStandby. Is that clear now?

    Max VERSTAPPENNo, it's related to my brake balance map. Instead of just turning on the red light on the top right, it's now using a yellow and a red light.

    EngineerUnderstood, thank you.

  8. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri13:34:140:21

    EngineerOk, if possible, no movement to the clutch, we are a little bit on the high side So if possible, try to roll to the practice start box

    Pierre GASLYYeah, I'll try Balance is quite stable, just understeer 11, between 13 as well

    EngineerYeah, copy that, I'll do it

  9. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo13:35:260:09

    EngineerNo by-point.

    Antonio GIOVINAZZICopy. Some vibration on the bridge.

    EngineerCopy.

    EngineerAnd Lando, we will drive to the grid, we will drive to the grid this time, please confirm.

    Lando NORRISYeah, I confirm.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  12. George RUSSELLWilliams13:38:160:11

    EngineerOkay George, that's good. So we can call the car now, please call the car. And go to the grid.

    George RUSSELLCopy.

  13. George RUSSELLWilliams13:40:020:28

    George RUSSELLThere was something a bit strange on the dash with GOAT in-lap that it seemed like the front right tyre temp was showing next to the gear selection rather than in the top right of the corner. Obviously no biggie but just something I've never seen before. No issues with the car, balance was good.

    EngineerCopy.

  14. George RUSSELLWilliams13:40:540:12

    George RUSSELLWhoa whoa whoa, front right, busy,

    Engineercould you please advise James and break balance for the formation lap?

  15. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull13:43:300:31

    Max VERSTAPPENI don't know why, but I have this yellow and red light on the left side of my dash, and it doesn't want to go off.

    EngineerStandby. Is that clear now?

    Max VERSTAPPENNo, it's related to my brake balance map. Instead of just turning on the red light on the top right, it's now using a yellow and a red light.

    EngineerUnderstood, thank you.

  16. Sergio PEREZRacing Point14:02:150:13

    EngineerI'm happy with the 4.4 turn, 11, 13, like you did on your last lap.

    Sergio PEREZYeah, I agree.

  17. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:03:140:06

    EngineerAlex, can you check your drinks please, just while you're reconnected?

  18. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:04:130:38

    EngineerSo, you know what we've done with the front wing. Body switches are set. We're suggesting to use the pull toggle for the start of the race, but I haven't turned that on yet. So you're in V-BAL 3, you need an offset minus 1, but we suggest pull toggle for the race start. As I said, I haven't put that on. And then once we get into it, turn the pull toggle off when you wish, and then we'll end up getting a couple of clicks forwards on the offset. This start here from this position.

  19. Esteban OCONRenault14:08:370:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  20. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:08:380:06

    EngineerSo, you know what we've done with the front wing.

    EngineerRed flag, red flag! Follow

    Pierre GASLYthe reference!

  23. Lance STROLLRacing Point14:18:520:23

    Lance STROLLI went off a little bit into turn 2. Copy that. So check under the car.

    EngineerCopy that, we'll check under the car and check the tyres. OK Lance, so we have got floor damage, so we're doing what we can to repair that.

  24. Lando NORRISMcLaren14:19:170:14

    Lando NORRISI've got add contact, check everything.

    EngineerUnderstood.

    Lando NORRISI've got sparks, something's happened. I've got rank damage maybe. Understood, we're on it. I don't know what I was going to do. It's cool mate, don't worry. Just idiots these guys.

  25. Alexander ALBONRed Bull14:21:431:19

    EngineerRed flag, red flag, red flag, red flag, red flag, slow down please. Red flag, red flag, drive directly to the pits, do not stop in the box, stay in the fast lane and park in the order you arrive. Leave a five metre gap to the car in front. Recharge on please, recharge on. Red flag, red flag, drive directly to the pits, do not stop in the box, stay in the fast lane and park in the order you arrive. leave a 5m gap to the car in front Yeah, it's a shunt exit turn 3 mate Grosjean shunted exit turn 3 no information on it yet it looked pretty big

    Alexander ALBONHas he got out?

    EngineerUnsure yet, not sure OK, so into the pit lane please into the pit lane OK Alex, so remember leave a gap to the car ahead please 5m gap to the car ahead Alex, if you can hear me Grosjean's out of the car looks a bit shaken up but he's OK

  26. Charles LECLERCFerrari14:23:220:49

    Charles LECLERCThis was a big one, this was a big one. Is he OK?

    EngineerI will come back to you.

    Charles LECLERCI've seen it in the mirrors. Who is it?

    EngineerIt's Grosjean. Still no information, I will let you know.

    Charles LECLERCNo, please.

    EngineerAnd we will go through the pit lane and we will stop in the pit lane and please try to keep a gap to the car in front.

    Charles LECLERCStill no information? Still

    Engineerno information.

  27. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes15:26:180:48

    EngineerAlright, ready to check. Copy. So, restart time being announced 10 minutes from now.

    Valtteri BOTTASSo, effectively, where we leave from here, that's the formation lap, and then we just go to the grid.

    EngineerSo, Valtteri, apparently you are P4 on the grid now, the point they decided to form the grid. I'll see how they're going to rearrange the car to achieve that. So, once you pull away behind the safety car, you take your position then. Then we went up half a turn, and the track temp dropped an odd degree.

  28. George RUSSELLWilliams15:28:500:21

    George RUSSELLI've got the VSC going crazy in my ear.

    EngineerCopy, radio check. Can you hear me? Yeah, fine, alright, let me sort that. Can

    George RUSSELLI turn my earplugs out? Just

    Engineergoing mental. Yeah, copy.

  29. Alexander ALBONRed Bull15:30:260:20

    EngineerOkay, just got a bit of news for you that's just come through, so they've done the red flag count back to SC line 2 So that means that we're P5, Bottas is in front of us on the grid, okay? Yeah, that's just a new bit of information, so Bottas will come through in front of Picardo and you on the formation lap, alright?

  30. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:31:280:28

    EngineerSo they decided the position at the safety car line

    Charles LECLERCthat

    Engineerfor them was the most sensible point to decide the starting grid again And on the grid will be on the right and it will be right behind Sebastian On the left you'll have Stroll

  31. Daniel RICCIARDORenault15:33:030:18

    EngineerOK, so after that do the formation lap, so you will have to give places to Bottas behind you, he will overtake you. You will start P6 again, so same slot as before on the right hand side.

  32. Lando NORRISMcLaren15:34:020:14

    Lando NORRISAnd just to confirm, I overtake these two cars in front of me, before the line?

    EngineerThat's correct. We're going to overtake Ocon, and we're going to overtake Gasly, and then we're going to hold position behind Ricciardo.

  33. Esteban OCONRenault15:36:470:01

    Audio only, no transcript

  34. Esteban OCONRenault15:36:480:22

    EngineerWhat is Norris doing?

    Esteban OCONGuys, can you hear me?

    EngineerYes, go ahead. What position am I in? Because Norris just passed me. You are P8, Norris is P7, Daniel is P6. So as I said, on the grid you'll have Daniel right in front of you and Norris to your right ahead of you.

  35. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:37:430:16

    Carlos SAINZYeah, just one question, are the positions okay?

    EngineerYeah, Carlos, you should assume your start position during the formation lap.

    Carlos SAINZThere's people doing weird things.

  36. Charles LECLERCFerrari15:38:270:09

    Charles LECLERCHonestly, I don't know who's braking like this, but it's very dangerous. Anyway, OK, go straight to the grid.

  37. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:39:500:04

    EngineerSo, the Stappan car behind.

  38. Lance STROLLRacing Point15:40:390:09

    Lance STROLLOK, I'm hanging upside down. Are

    Engineeryou OK? Are you OK?

    Lance STROLLYeah, I'm OK.

  39. Lance STROLLRacing Point15:41:240:19

    EngineerSo we're as state alpha so you're okay you can get out if you can do switch it completely off Switch the car all the way off Was you hit lance was you hit from behind?

  40. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:41:580:22

    Sebastian VETTELNot again. I mean, you can't just do that as if I wasn't there. It's the same as Austria, seriously. This time I, you know, I should have crashed. Maybe it was the better option.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  41. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes15:42:130:10

    EngineerSo, we think we have a puncture from right, diff mid 12. Ok,

    Valtteri BOTTASI had no contact.

  42. Sergio PEREZRacing Point15:42:540:10

    EngineerSir, Marshall's working around turn 8, check it.

    Sergio PEREZIt's Lance, how's the car?

    EngineerYes, check it, he's out, he's all OK.

  43. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:43:410:28

    Sebastian VETTELNot again. I mean, you can't just do that as if I wasn't there. It's the same as Austria, seriously. This time I, you know, I should have crashed. Maybe it was the better option.

    EngineerUnderstood.

    Sebastian VETTELAll morning we talk about giving room and then going to the tiniest gap that doesn't exist and you just pray that the other guy just sees you and moves out of the way.

  44. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:45:020:14

    EngineerI

    Kimi RAIKKONENhave somebody looking over the big wall. I will come close to the big wall. Yeah,

    EngineerI have Mark to work on it.

  45. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:45:250:07

    EngineerF***,

    Carlos SAINZwhat a race!

    EngineerThank God he's okay.

  46. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:45:530:30

    Carlos SAINZRepeat I was focused on the Stroll car. F***ing hell what a race. Thank god he's okay.

    EngineerYeah he's okay, he's out the car. So the car immediately in front of you is Gasly. Gasly is on new hard. All cars in front of him are on used medium. So you have Lando P6, Ocon P7, Leclerc P8, Ricciardo P9, Gasly P10. Behind you is Kvyat. Kvyat is on used soft.

  47. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull15:46:540:08

    Max VERSTAPPENVigis, quite an eventful race so far.

  48. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri15:47:340:09

    EngineerSo the crane is taking the car off, maybe one or two laps and we can start.

  49. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri15:48:200:17

    EngineerOk Pierre, we are revising what we will do. We are revising everything. Make sure we make these tyres last as long as you can. Please confirm. The two cars behind you are on option. They are not going to go very far. So if you lose a couple of positions, keep the head down, keep the head down.

  50. Sebastian VETTELFerrari15:48:550:13

    EngineerGot us, bought us behind, just pitted for hard.

    Sebastian VETTELOK, next time you let me know if somebody boxes.

  51. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes15:50:270:13

    EngineerBut it looks like you picked some debris between three and four on that tire properly from the shunt

  52. Daniil KVYATAlphaTauri15:50:450:05

    EngineerIs he okay again? He's okay. Yes, he's out of the car

  53. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes15:50:570:14

    EngineerStill

    Lewis HAMILTONhave this split, should I work them harder?

    EngineerI think we're okay where they are, don't want to get them too hot, they're pretty warm at the moment. Definitely

    Lewis HAMILTONfeel like a separation in braking.

  54. Carlos SAINZMcLaren15:52:040:05

    Carlos SAINZyeah the one stop keeps getting easier just ready now

  55. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:52:440:15

  59. Esteban OCONRenault15:55:570:06

    EngineerWe need to look after these tyres, we're going for a different strategy.

  60. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:56:380:08

    Kimi RAIKKONENDo I have a puncher on the rear? What the f***

    Engineeris happening? Negative, negative. Everything okay.

  61. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo15:57:060:10

    EngineerYeah, great pace, mate. Great pace.

  82. Sebastian VETTELFerrari16:12:150:14

    Sebastian VETTELOK, to state that the grip is low would be failing quite a bit. I don't know, this car has nothing to do with the tyre that I drove the last two days.

  83. Sebastian VETTELFerrari16:12:310:06

    Sebastian VETTELI don't know, this car has nothing to do with the tyre that I drove the last two days.

    EngineerStepping on the hard tyre

  89. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:16:250:09

    Max VERSTAPPENYeah, we have nothing to lose here, so just go full centre.

    EngineerCopy.

  90. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:16:280:06

    Engineerso if you can pass them let's do it just don't ruin the tires doing it

  91. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo16:17:210:07

    Kimi RAIKKONENDo we stick to the plan that we did before?

    EngineerYes, affirm, affirm.

  92. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:17:520:18

    EngineerSo just feedback from that first in match. Just think about your trade between six and seven.

    Max VERSTAPPENI didn't have the group to change that line there. I would be just drifting.

    EngineerUnderstood.

  93. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:18:500:09

    Max VERSTAPPENHow much did I catch?

  94. Carlos SAINZMcLaren16:18:590:23

    Carlos SAINZLet me know when it's time to put another lap of bringing the tires in, yeah? Yeah,

    Engineerthat's good. So Ricciardo did a very hard out lap and both Renaults have already overtaken four cars.

  95. Carlos SAINZMcLaren16:19:270:07

    Carlos SAINZLet me know when it's time to put another lap of bringing the tires in, yeah?

    EngineerYeah, that's good.

  96. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri16:19:500:08

    EngineerOk Pierre, we can try to push a bit harder, we want to see how much space we can get, we need to try to push a bit harder now.

  97. Carlos SAINZMcLaren16:20:150:06

    Carlos SAINZScotty, subject over balance at this time

    EngineerCopy

  98. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:20:260:09

    Max VERSTAPPENI'm actually going to catch the Lewis and I'll stop.

    EngineerLewis 33.3, Eura 33.7

  99. Carlos SAINZMcLaren16:21:090:07

    Carlos SAINZI think it's time to go hunting.

    EngineerNo problem.

  100. Sergio PEREZRacing Point16:21:190:11

    EngineerSo check it out, Verstappen is one second faster, we're not really racing him, we're happy for you to push the tyres in a lower speed, but still a little bit of management in a high speed as you're doing.

  101. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes16:22:140:04

    EngineerAnd get to the stop in 4.3

  102. Daniel RICCIARDORenault16:22:350:07

  103. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo16:23:210:17

    EngineerOK Kimi, Antonio has DRS for you now.

    Kimi RAIKKONENYeah, I don't believe there's cloud damage, as you said, because it's the way everything disappears sometimes completely.

    EngineerCopy, copy, stand by, I'll come back to you.

  104. Lando NORRISMcLaren16:23:530:07

    EngineerOkay Lando, Carlos is now the car behind you. We are basically on the same race as him to the end.

  105. Carlos SAINZMcLaren16:24:330:06

    Carlos SAINZWhat is Lando's pace?

    EngineerLando last lap 1.35.4

  106. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull16:25:040:07

    EngineerLewis is using a lot more of the track on the exit at turn 4, Max.

  107. Kimi RAIKKONENAlfa Romeo16:25:130:16

    EngineerOK Kimi, we can see some floor damage now, it's getting a bit worse and we would like to swap the cars at turn 1 please

    Kimi RAIKKONENYes, if I make it, it's close to me OK,

    Engineercopy that

  108. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo16:26:260:07

  158. Lewis HAMILTONMercedes17:08:350:24

    EngineerOK Lewis, so we're going to stay out, stay out, we think this is going to take a long time to clear Are you sure? There'll be two to go when you cross the line So they still have to let lapped gas through And there's no overtaking on the last lap

    Lewis HAMILTONWe've got the gap, we should probably take it now

    EngineerNo, the gap is now marginal, the gap is marginal So, not going to take the risk

  159. Pierre GASLYAlphaTauri17:08:440:16

    Pierre GASLYSo you know the tires are dead, huh? Copy

    Engineerthat. We don't really have any other option now.

  160. Alexander ALBONRed Bull17:09:310:17

  163. Max VERSTAPPENRed Bull17:11:020:10

    EngineerWell done Max, you did what you could mate. Yeah, it is what it is. It is what it is. Well done mate, you dragged every bit of performance out of that, they were just that bit quicker than us today, but very very good drive. Yeah, it was a good podium again, after

    Max VERSTAPPENtwo races where I didn't go to plan, so also congrats to Alex on beat 3.

  169. Valtteri BOTTASMercedes17:19:100:09

  172. Kevin MAGNUSSENHaas17:21:240:19

    EngineerAll right, good management of the tires, Kevin. We just don't have enough pace, but you did well. Looks like Hamilton won from Verstappen, Albon, Norris, Sainz, Gasly, Ricciardo, Bottas, Ocon, and Leclerc was 10th.

  173. Sebastian VETTELFerrari17:21:540:26

    Sebastian VETTELAnd thanks for the effort, wasn't easy, and you try your best, thanks for that. Yeah, well obviously the first lap cost us quite a lot, after that the first in the car was really, really poor to drive. Once we changed tyres it was okay, it was like as if the tyres never started to work, chattering in the front, no grip on the rear, yeah. Copy. So.

  174. Antonio GIOVINAZZIAlfa Romeo17:22:340:08

    EngineerThe race is over now, race is over, check the flag.

    EngineerYour

    Kimi RAIKKONENposition already?

  177. Alexander ALBONRed Bull17:24:100:30

    EngineerOkay nice job P3.

    Alexander ALBONYeah thank you guys.

  179. Nicholas LATIFIWilliams17:26:261:01

    EngineerOkay, check and flag, check and flag, go in, go in, end of the race, your P14, P14, Hamilton Mourne, head of Verstappen in Alban, Russell P12, Vettel P13, and the new Recon End, Giovinazzi, Magnussen, that was a solid one, mate, with some good overtaking, some good fights, a lot to learn, solid one.

    Nicholas LATIFIYep, good job guys, solid race,

    Engineermistakes

    Nicholas LATIFIfrom my side at the beginning with the overtaking, but I'll learn from it.

    EngineerThat was good, that was good, that was a good race, strong one, I still think, we take the mistake and we learn from it, like you said, good job, mate. Remember, try to pick up some rubber, just bring the car back, when you jump out of the car, go to wait yourself, we'll be in the back from it.

  180. Daniel RICCIARDORenault17:26:460:44

    EngineerShame we couldn't get a go at Gasly there at the end, P7, Esteban P9.

    Daniel RICCIARDOYeah I think obviously we would have had a good crack at Gasly, but didn't have enough for the McLaren, but thanks, thanks anyways guys.

    EngineerKeep fighting mate, keep fighting, gain some points on the racing point. Yeah

    Daniel RICCIARDOwe'll keep chipping away, is Stroll, is he okay?

    Engineernot

    Esteban OCONover, not over, no

    Engineermore to go. Absolutely mate, absolutely, learn what we can from this one and move on. I think the main thing is Roman is not badly hurt, that's the thing we have to take away.

    Esteban OCONExactly, that's

    Engineerthe

    Esteban OCONmost important.

  182. Sebastian VETTELFerrari17:29:100:38

    EngineerI'm P13, P13, and thanks for the effort, it wasn't easy, and you try your best, thanks for that. Yeah,

    EngineerOK, checkered flag, checkered flag, P12. It's a good battle. Morning, guys. Yeah,

    George RUSSELLI think that was a really good race, really good recovery following that first start. So a good weekend all round. I'm glad to see Roman is OK. That was nasty.

    EngineerYeah, cover that, good job. Run

    George RUSSELLin order.

    EngineerWas Hamilton from Verstappen. Verstappen had the fastest lap. And that Albon in P3. Norris 4, Sainz 5, Gasly 6, then Ricciardo, Bottas in 8, Ocon and Leclerc.

    George RUSSELLNicely done, Albono.

    EngineerHow

    George RUSSELLwas our pace? It felt all right. I mean, it was very managed. There was definitely chances I could have gone quicker over distinct lengths. But I think for the battles we were having, I think it was really well managed.

    EngineerYeah, cover that, good job.

    George RUSSELLSorry, what was the run in order? 10, 11? We were 12th, right?

    EngineerAffirm. Leclerc 10, Kylian 11, and then yourself 12. Vettel 13, Niclas 14. Yeah, sorry, had them reasonably covered at the end, or majority of the last run.
